Day 53 of 365…

Just East of Vancouver, WA is a little town called Washougal. Washougal, WA is the last stop in Clark County before you hit Skamania County and the amazing Columbia River Gorge. As you drive along Highway 14 you’ll find Pendleton Woolen Mills right at the 15th Street intersection. Pendleton Woolen Mills has been running the Washougal Mill Store since 1912. The original operation was a weaving mill which allowed them to expand their fabric varieties. Today this is a full store carrying Pendleton products ranging from men’s & women’s clothes to blankets, jackets, hats and fabrics.

In addition to a full retail location for Pendleton they also give mill tours…

Here you can see the process firsthand from our state-of-the-art dye house, through spinning and weaving, to the finishing of our distinctive Indian blankets

Public tours for individuals and small groups (under 10 persons) are held Monday through Friday, at 9AM, 10AM, 11AM, and 1:30MP. Reservations are not required, however tour spaces are filled on a first come basis. When necessary, extra tours may be added to the existing tour schedule if sufficient tour staff is available. Tours take about 45 minutes.

To place a tour reservation call the Washougal Mill Store at 360-835-1118 or 800-568-2480.

I’d recommend swinging by sometime to check this out. They have some pretty cool stuff and it’s fun seeing some of the old spinning equipment in the store as well. You can also find them on Facebook if you’d like.

Today’s Monday real estate market statistics are brought to you by the numbers 9-8-6-0-7 and 9-8-6-7-1.

It is Monday and that means we get to look at some more of our Clark County area real estate market statistics. Last week we looked at what is happening in the Battle Ground, WA real estate market. This week we’re going to head back South and East to the Camas and Washougal areas of Clark County. As always, I’ll post the statistics with a link to go see them much larger and easier. They’ll give you the October snapshot showing things like number of new listings, number of sales, average days on the market, rate of appreciation, average sales prices, etc.

That’s what happened today. I wrote a while back about Leeward Subdivision in Washougal, WA. Leeward is a great new development just off of Highway 14 less than 10 minutes from the I-205 bridge. With the pick up in activity happening in the market we have broken ground on a new ranch style home that is listed at $217,500. We’ll also be breaking ground on another lot in there right away.

Looking for a great new home built by a wonderful builder? Shoot me a call or email and I’d be happy to send you more information.

If so, you may want to check out Leeward Subdivision located on N “O” Street just minutes off of Hwy 14.

Having known and worked with Columbia Homes NW for a number of years, I can tell you they live by the above statement. Making sure all the details of your new home are just right is key to them!

Prices start at only $214,900 for a 1,252 square foot ranch style home.

The 2 level homes start at 1,973 square feet and go up over 2,800. Some of them have the master bedroom on the main floor if that fits your needs. Many of the lots will accommodate a third car garage (and several will handle a four car garage).
